Whether that info is to believed or not is another story.
Even IF there was a man named Jesus it is not the same person as depicted in the bible, that is a total fabrication, or fable if you prefer.

I have not been arguing that the gospels are unassailable documents, so the accuracy of their depictions of Jesus is not at all at issue here. I do take issue with your assertion that their presentation is a
total fabrication. It is quite reasonably not, and in fact there is much within the gospels that is based on the actual life of the actual man Jesus. Multiple attestations in multiple sources, and the criterion of dissimilarity make a robust case for the historical Jesus.
